    ribs turned out good on first smoke with the new smoker

    You sir, are an artist.

    Gonna give ribs ONE MORE TRY then i'm giving up... end up with shoe leather every time! :(

    I'm with T Johnson.  Just a wild guess, but I bet you have a temp issue.  The door mount thermometers in my stick burner are 40 degrees off from my grate level thermo.  (Which means they are basically just there to stop up the hole)  Butts are forgiving enough to handle a pretty wide temp range...

    Length of time to start smoking after starting lump charcoal

    I just watch the therm.  When it hits 225, on goes the meat.

    45 racks of spare ribs for tomorrow

    Definitely leave out the sugar/molasses. At the temps he's going to have to cook those, your sugar will burn.  I might go with a spicy rub, then a sweet sauce to serve on the side.

    45 racks of spare ribs for tomorrow

    I personally don't know how you are going to get spares tender and ready to serve in 2.5 hours.  You may want to question your buddy.  I'm not saying it can't be done, but I think you have a right to be concerned.  Maybe he is going to par cook them and just finish them on the grill.

    HELP!!! Not enough time but still want to impress.......

    One more thought...  If you want to stick to the beef theme, you can get some chuck roasts and pull them for sandwiches.  Same idea as the butt, just with beef.  There have been some really good threads on here lately about doing chuckies. Just a thought... Oh, and by the way I hope ya'll win...

    wholesirloin tip, cook temp, rub, etc ideas please

    I agree with Pineywoods.  Rub it down with Montreal Steak and smoke it at 225 to an internal temp of around 140.  My brother brought one of these to Thanksgiving last year and the poor turkey just sat there while everyone devoured the tip.  Remember to pull it off the smoker 5-10 degrees short...

    Prime Rib (Best ever)

    If it was "choice" when it started, its "PRIME" now.  Awesome looking meat!

    Steaks

    +1 on Mr Mac's poke test.  Once you master this technique, you will never have to guess on the doneness of meat again.  My friends are amazed when I poke a piece of meat, or fish, and say.....  hmmmm.... 5 more minutes.  They think it's black magic or something, but it's really quite simple.

    I just got this huge smoker and need some help.

    Pics of the smoker would be a huge help.

    Help with my first turkey breast

    1.  I would either brine, or inject.  You don't need to do both.  2. Chunks are a great choice.  Just set them around the perimiter of your fire so they just smoulder.  If you put them directly on the fire, they will just burst into flames and cause trouble for you.  I personally don't soak...

    Flour ?

    Never thought about doing this, but I would imagine the flour would have to pick up some smoke.  It sure brings up some interesting possibilities.

    Jambalaya over an open fire with q view

    NICE JOB!  I cook about 20 of those a year over propane, but have never played around with doing it over a fire.  I gotta try that one of these days.

    homemade cement smoker?

    My buddy has a a cinder block smoker that has a carbon steel firebox.  That may be an option for you if you have fab capabilities.

    This Bird Gave All - With Qview

    benxrow2002  Ask and you shall receive.  Here's the gumbo recipe.  Well, it's really more of a method than a recipe.  First you need to make the Roux.  This is the hardest part.  Once this is done, you are on ez street. Mix 2 cups of flour and 2 cups canola or peanut oil together in a heavy...

    Easy alternative to pork other than chicken?

    Yea, sorry.  It's a chuck roast.  Smoke it like you would a pork butt and pull it for sandwiches.  It's delicious.  Check out the beef section and you will find a bunch of threads on it.
